Tuition Workshop - Flora and Fruit Pencil Illustration with Susan Christopher Coulson
30th September
Susan Coulson is passionate about pencil art, “drawing has always been my preferred method of working, plants are drawn from life, where possible, from my garden, and are usually life size”. Susan shows her work regularly at Botanical exhibitions around the country, where she has received two gold awards from the RHS in recognition of her work.

Following her first solo exhibition, at Harlow Carr Botanical Gardens, much interest was shown in her use of Coloured Pencils. ”I find the depth and translucency offered by Coloured Pencils satisfying to produce. Colours and tones are built up in layers through blending using combinations of individual colours.”

Join Susan in experimenting with tone, texture, light and movement of the pencil. Suitable for artists with a little knowledge of pencil art.

Workshops run between 10.30am – 4.30pm. £40 per person per workshop. A 10% discount is offered for any two or more workshops booked at any one time.

All materials for the day’s tuition are included in the cost of the workshop. Paper, pencils, fixing spray, brushes etc.., will all be provided per person. You will be working from a tin of 24 pencils, which will give you the opportunity to experiment with light, tone, and texture of the pencils.

A lunch break of 45 minutes will happen around 1pm. Where you will have the opportunity to take a complimentary visit around the Museum, visit the Derwent Retail shop selling the full range of Derwent Pencils, or visit the Museum Gallery.
